James 3:6 ASV

⁴  Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

⁵  So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!

⁶  And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.

⁷  For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind.

⁸  But the tongue can no man tame; `it is' a restless evil, `it is' full of deadly poison.
